Welcome to SQUARE blog where we share everything that is important in the after sale, and after rent process in order to help you to make your new home beautiful and comfortable.
My name is Viktoria, I’m 37. I am award winning script writer, move, TV, and documentary travel director, and producer. Shows that I have directed, or produced have been watched by more than 400 million people. Throughout my life I have lived in 5 cities, in 3 countries, on 2 continents, and I have changed God knows how many apartments.
I have a dream job, which is connected with a lot of traveling around the world, and I have an amazing husband who always has crazy life-changing ideas, so we move from place to place in search of better opportunities for us all the time. We are very close to name ourselves the citizens of the world, and we truly feel what freedom of movement to any spot of the world is – and it’s amazing! We get the best of our of lives, we have new challenges and new victories. Our life is happy and bright!
On this blog I will share my tips and secrets on how I have managed to make each of our rented homes beautiful, elegant and cozy – how I have made them to feel like home. To be honest it was not easy, my husband always strongly opposes any kind of investments into something that we do not own, and I couldn’t agree more, however let me tell you one thing – magic is possible even if you are running on a budget. I will be sharing with u easy tips on how to make the place where u live the home of your dream without big expenses, designers and other stress. It will be helpful both for people who in search to rent an apartment, just moved in to a new place and for those who renovate their own apparent for rent or living.
Here is how it all started
You will ask me, how the family can feel happy when it doesn’t have its own home, its nest, its place of power? To be honest, in the beginning, when I was changing apartments it was heartbreaking. I was coming to the empty walls with no soul, no mood, no style and felt like I’m missing a big part of me, without having my personal castle. Even when apartments were expensive and filled with luxury furniture they still felt to me not comfortable, not of my style. Need to say, that expensive refit has nothing to do with coziness and warmth. It only shows one’s financial success but not the personality and style. That’s why there is so much soulless and tasteless luxury stuff around us. So for me changing homes was a big struggle, until one day being totally exhausted I stepped in the new soulless house and looked at it from a different angle and realized that it’s a perfect instrument of getting to know yourself better and expressing yourself!
What followed after that.
After the wedding I so much wanted my family to feel warm and comfortable in our new place that I changed the way how I see the home totally upside-down and learn how to bring comfort to any place where I go! The main thing I would want to bring to you is that the home is about emotions. U create the mood, u create the style. Home is the reflection of your life experience, it shows your transformation.
First of all, home is where you are! You can say a lot about the person by just looking at the place where he/she lives. For example, an apartment filled with too much stuff will say that its owner most likely had a childhood in poverty; pompous style will say that the owner had a lack of love and confidence; empty walls with no art is a sign that the person was pushed to sacrifice itself to please others etc… (all these statements are psephologically proven and agreed upon by expert psychologist) So, when you rent the apartment of your budget the main thing will be to think about who u are and what small things u can change so that the space reflects your character.
I will teach you how to build relationships with the décor and furniture. To take them easy and not to spend a lot of money. It’s just things – u can move them, buy and sell or give them away. With those things, we will be creating the life and the mood in your space. U will learn how to make from the soulless rented apartment the house that heals, charges and distresses you after a hard working day.
Why you should do it too?
If u feel that your house is not cozy enough and you think that you need to buy new furniture and décor; if you don’t feel like inviting friends to your house, because you are afraid that they will not like it; if u feel like your home brings you more duties than satisfaction, then welcome to my tips on making a home of your dream with no big investments and designers.
The first tip is getting to understand that home is first of all an emotion. Being satisfied with the look of your space will only depend on how much time u will spend on it and if you have a clear goal of what emotions you want to have at the end. The core of this process is understanding the functions that every meter of your house serves. I will share with you some basics in the next article, so you can start the creative process straight away!
Keep one thing in mind!
And keep in mind – home is alive, it reflects you, your character and your mood. When making changes in the house u will be changing yourself. Creating the house of your dream is a long process, and the The process itself should bring you satisfaction. Don’t take it as a duty, take it as a step-by-step ritual that will make you feel happier! And dear friends, f you have any additional questions, or if you have any wishes on what I should write more about, please write in the comments, and I will do my best to do so.

Viktoria
